Meanwhile, Cullen, now a warrior of renown, is dispatched by Aoife the Dread to seek out a mystic religious totem - the whetstone of the smith god, Gobannos - which could help unite the bickering clans.

But will he be able to find the stone and return it to Aoife before the two great armies clash?
